To launch the rallying call for United fans to pull together for the important match the Yellow Army and Oxford United today announced they will use #NoisyOxford on Twitter in the big build up to Saturday.

U's fans are being encouraged to make as much noise as possible in every section of the stadium throughout the match to cheer on United and create a special atmosphere.

James Constable said: "The Yellow Army have been superb in backing us up and down the country in great numbers this season and always give us a lift.

"We're determined to keep working hard and put in performances that we hope do the fans proud. The Yellow Army are always loud and the backing we had at Bristol really was first class. The #NoisyOxford campaign is fantastic and will give the boys a boost."

The #NoisyOxford campaign forms part of the Yellow Army's goal to improve the match-day experience and atmosphere this season, by adding more colour and noise. Every United fan is part of the Yellow Army.
